Flying for ATA...

[Boltonpilot]

Can anyone give me some 'info on their experiences with ATA? I've kinda had interest in flying for them as a career b/c they have pilot bases that are pretty close to Columbus. I know that I would not make that much compared to other pilots flying for larger airlines, but that really does not bother me.

With ATA's new contract, their pay and benefits are very competitive with other LCC's, and not even bad compared to majors. Making over $100K a year after a couple is very possible.

Good news for ATA is they are making a profit. Bad news is, they compete against Southwest at their biggest hub -- but they seem to be doing something right. Nice fleet too.
